*** elib EXCLUSIVE ***THIS IS A BONUS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED WITH THE MARTIAL BODY GB!All martial arts, when practiced with the correct perception, can heal the body and turn you into a self-defence machine. Many fail, not from a lack of understanding of what to practice, but how to practice. This treasure trove of information will teach you what the ancients knew, it lifts the veil off the metaphoric language and cultural road blocks which westerners constantly encounter when attempting to learn Asian martial arts.The author explains five methods which underpin true and practical skills. He defines the number one unspoken problem within the martial arts community, and explains the methods of practice used to solve it. You will gain an understanding of the basics of meditation and how it applies to your practice. You will be able to properly perform traditional forms and katas with precise visualizations which cause applications to smoothly and spontaneously occur.You will understand the body’s physical design and how to use it in the most efficient manner possible. You will acquire the ability to experience the great fluid power created from linking the subconscious mind and nervous system with your intent.The author, a former police and corrections officer with over thirty six years’ experience has survived savage assaults from armed as well as unarmed criminals. He holds high level credentials within the oldest known form of Okinawan Karate and the internal martial arts of China. His professionalism as a current practitioner and former lecturer of Chinese medicine, along with his scholarship as a lay teacher in Tibetan Buddhism grant him the unique insight to accurately convey these methods in an easily understandable way.Many have mistakenly abandoned traditional martial arts form practice, thinking it too old fashioned and not representative of pragmatic self defence in the modern world. That’s like complaining about walking while refusing to learn how to drive. The ancient practitioners who originated these arts also knew the methods needed in order to use forms practice as a gateway into creating a fused heart-mind, where all fights are ultimately won or lost.The book starts with a definition of the biggest problem in martial arts and how you can solve it. He describes the processes used to widen awareness. You will learn what Yin and Yang really are and how to apply their four interactions within your practice. He explains true knockout power depends upon a balanced relationship with gravity.You will also learn how to create visualizations, and imagine parameters during the practice of your forms. Done properly these build nervous system sensitivity and the skill necessary to move at touch, you virtually know what your attacker will do before he does it.The especially enlightening chapter on spirituality explains how we nurture our spiritual selves within the practice of martial arts forms. A fight on the street can lead to death or serious injury in the blink of an eye. Entering such an encounter without a spiritual centre fuelling the mind and body is tantamount to showing up to a gunfight armed only with a rubber knife.One’s consciousness, brain, nervous system, and body are dependent upon bioelectricity. Practicing forms and kata which employ these five methods reset one’s internal timing, thus creating harmonious flow between the mind and body. All martial arts have at its core a tradition of pre-set moves used to create a totally connected self. This not only grants to the seeker of the true way self-defence skills which originate from the deep mind, but by creating this type of energy matrix he also gains self-defence against mental imbalance and physical disease.
